Cattle.

Wednesday, June =.
The run of cattle to-day was liberal. The
market on good handy fat native steers was
about steady. The common and poorer
grades were fully SC lower than yesterday.
The general market was hardly as active as
yesterday, although q good many cattle
changed hands. Butcher stock Is little
slow. and the buyers are not taking them
very freely. Bulls that are not fat are very
slow sale, while fat bulls of medium weight
are in better request than heavy coarse ones.

Origin of Natural Gas.

Dr. H. A. Mott, the chemist, has been
making a study of natural gas. When
asked what he thought was the origin of
the gas, and whether he thought it was
really volatized petroleum, as has been
claimed, he replied mo. 1t seems to
me that it cannot be; to 50 produce it
would require a far greater heat than ex-
lists at the depth where it is found. Ny
theory is that the gas was thrown off
during the first stage Of decomposition of
the hcrbaceous and ligneus plants, and
has since remained undiscovered in the
caverns of the earth. | say the first
stage because | consider that in this case
there We're three stages of decomposition,
the first resulting in gas, the second in
petroleum and the third in coal.-New

A Destructive Snow Slide.

The most destructive slide | remember
was one that came down upon the Sheri-
dan and Mandota mines near the top of
the range that rises above Ouray. 1t
carried away the kitchen and bunk house
of the men. and covered fifteen miners.
Some who escaped came down to Ouray
on snow shoes over perilous trail. run
ming nearly all the way along precipices,
and overhung with cliffs. bearing tremb-
ling masses of snow, threatening other
slides. They begged us for help to dig
out their imprisoned comrades. We sent
a party up on snow shoes Immediately.
eight of the nerviest men in the camp.
They got up to the mines safely and dug
out tho bodies and two live men. Then
they put seven of the dead men into sleds,
and with the rescued men started back to
Ouray, party Of fifteen.
They were half way down when another
slide came down on the trail and swept
away sleds, corpses and rescuers. There
was space fifty feet wide from the trail
to the brink of a canyon, over eighty feet
deep. Some of the men We're released by
the snow before they were carried to the
edge of the gulf, but most of them. with
all the sled bearers, went over and down
upon the deep snow at the bottom. Not
one of that party was killed, although
they were somewhat bruised, and they
all singly or in small parties, made their
way back to Ouray within the next three
days. The corpses lay embalmed in the
snow until spring, when the thawing of
the snow made them visible. They were
then brought down to Ouray and buried.

All Roads Lead to the Novel.

In the literature of to-day all roads
seem to lead to the novel, The historian
and biographer, the scientist and the es-
sayist' are all likely to turn to fiction at
some time or other, either for mental re-
Taxation or for the opportunity of ad-
dressing larger circle of readers than
mere research can hope to attract. Does
the eminent mathematician find his work
grow lnonotonous, forthwith he sets his
pen to the composition of romances of
thwarted love. Does the scholar erudite
in classical lore and the myths of savage
races become weary of his labors, he
straightway invents tales of ingenious
villainy and his mind is refreshed.

THE OUTLOOK FOR WOOL.

4 recent issue of the Textile Record
contained the following: Prices of fine
woods are now down to II point below
which it is doubtful if the woods can be
replaced from the next clip, and this Is
making holders more indifferent about
realizing unless they can get current ask
ing rates. The stock of all descriptions
except territory woods and fine ilceces
are now very moderate, and even OF
these the supply is not large. although
rather in excess of the present wants of
buyers. Many of the lots are now in
ferior and faulty, and there is IA growing
disposition to await the marketing of the
new clip for better selections. So far as
there has been any indication of opening
prices for new wool it points to full
rates in comparison with present quota
lions in the eastern markets. The cost
of moving the new clip will average high
er than it did II year ago. owing to the
change in classification of wool and high
er freight rates. From California the
new rate has been fixed at > LIE per
pound, which is 90 higher than the pres
ent rate, and is practically prohibtive of
overland shipments of grease woods.
The change in freight rates will have
some bearing on the prices of new woods
in the country markets, but to what eX-
tent it is as yet little too early to deter
mine. The light stocks of unwashed
woods now available give assurance of a
good market for the early arrivals of new
wool, if prices be not advanced beyond a
parity with ruling quotations on the sea-
board.

A FUNERAL IN EGYPT.


a funeral in Egypt is. indeed, strange
s'ght, and the first one the visitor secs as
tonshes very much. At the head of the
procession march a corporate body of the
blind and certain number of men, who
proceed at a quick step, singing a most
jubilant air, while SWINGING themselves
from right to left. Behind them comes
the funeral car, or rather a sort of bier,
bearing great red shawl in which the
body is deposited. At the extremity of
the bier, on Il perch, is placed the turban
or the tarbouche of the defunct. Two
men carry this bier. They follow with
such high spirits the movements of the
head of the cortege that the corpse,
rocked in every direction. seems to Jump
under the shawl that shrouds it. The
women bring up the rear, some on asses,
some on foot.
The first row is formed of weepers or
rather screamers. who send forth toward
heaven at each step the shrillest notes.
The weepers hold in their hand a hand
kerchief, with which they are not solicit
Gus of wiping their eyes perfectly dry,
but which they pull by the two ends be-
hind their head with gesture that would
he desperate if it were not droll. On ar
rival at the cemetery they take the corpse
from the bier. to cast it. such as it is, into
the grave. The grand funerals, however,
take place with much more solemnitv.
An important parsonage is hardly dead in
Egypt before his friends and acquaintance
hurry to the house; during one or two
days they eat and drink at the expense of
the dead, or rather his heirs, indulging in
the noisiest demonstrations.
When the hour of the interment ar
rives a scene of the widest character is
produced. The slaves and women of
the house throw themselves on the corpse
and feign a determination to hinder it
from passing the threshold. This lugu-
brious tragedy is played conscientiouly;
they snatch away the coffin; they Delay
each other with blows, and the most vio-
lent and frightful clamor is heard. At
last the procession leaves the house and
retires to the cemetery. preceded by cam
els loaded with victuals, which are dis
tributed to the poor Eurrying in crowds
along the road. All along the road the
mourners and friends of the family fight
for the honor of bearing the bier for an
instant. and thus it passes or rather
bounds from hand to hand amid the
most frightful disorder. The interment
ended, every one returns to the house of
the dead to recommenCe the festivities,
dancing and the mortuary demonstra-
tons. Brooklyn Magazine.
